Drag Racing Receives An Electric Shock!

Drag Racing Receives An Electric Shock!
It was just a matter of time before electric vehicles arrived on the scene of the motorsports industry. Check out the KillaCycle - The World's Quickest Electric Motorcycle. The current fastest quarter mile run is 8.168 seconds at 155.78 mph!

Unbelievable!

You see, the sparkies have known for a long time that electric motors can provide nearly full torque immediately from a standstill. Combustion engines cannot do that, and probably never will. So, even if you have a nitromethane fueled, 4000 horsepower V8 in your car, you can't compete with a comparable electric motor for acceleration. All that remains for the electric racers to do is find the best way to deliver the power to the ground. There are lots of records to beat, and most of them are still held by the conventional guys. This should be a fun thing to watch!

The weirdest thing about it is the eerie silence when these guys do a burnout. You have to see the video below to see what I mean.
